Fe(III) bioreduction kinetics in anaerobic batch and continuous stirred tank reactors with acidophilic bacteria relevant for bioleaching of limonitic laterites

In the framework of the H2020 project CROCODILE, the recovery of Co from oxidized ores by reductive bioleaching has been studied. The objective was to reduce Fe(III) to Fe(II) to enhance the dissolution of Co from New-Caledonian limonitic laterites, mainly composed of goethite and Mn oxides. This st...
